Tom Brady's Entourage: Boston Magazine Provides Inside Look at Will McDonough

I love reading stories like this.

Every major star has a handler of sorts, a person that is an influence, a guide, a friend and someone that assists in the management of the day-to-day trappings of celebrity.

This article introduces us to Will McDonough, a former Patriots intern that is now the VP of marketing of a major hedge fund. Oh yeah, he is also an assistant to Tom Brady...except no one is sure what he does. He doesn't even have an official title.

This is a story of mystery and intrigue about a guy that people can't even seem to get a picture of. From the piece:

"Although his duties are shrouded in secrecy, McDonough is a de facto manager; he brokers deals and acts as a gatekeeper. Brady seems to trust him implicitly. McDonough has had a major hand in the quarterback's metamorphosis—and along the way has become an important man in his own right. One weekend, the Boston College grad might be hobnobbing with hedge fund managers. The next, he could be jetting to a celebrity-studded party. Always, he remains deeply connected to Brady as both a business associate and a best friend. Their relationship raises eyebrows, not least because of its clandestine nature. On the Patriots' payroll until this past February, McDonough has now left the team to handle Brady's affairs on his own. He has no official title. His business card simply lists his name, phone, and e-mail. It's all so East Berlin."

I'm telling you, read this article.
